Matthey Petit’s new AC 45

General manager Blaise Hochstrasser said: “We were already using a City crane, and we were very happy with it. That is why we were elated to find out that Demag had put an even more powerful successor on the market with its current Demag AC 45 City. The AC 45 City is so agile that we can use it pretty much anywhere – both for urban and indoor projects, making it an all purpose workhorse that we can use for an extremely broad range of lifts.”
